another one if this threads ...

its not the servers, its the lack off racers. Back in CTRA/STCC days there was no GT5, IRacing and RFactor hadn't taken off iirc. No big competitor on the online simracing market (correct me if I'm wrong).

LFS needs a good, plentiful update to get its user base back, than we can start thinking about new servers. Its not in our hands imo

This. People have tried to create new things in LFS, the open config layout racing for example. However it was enough for about a week. Maybe a similar CTRA system would be good for a week, but then then the numbers would drop, then it will go back to how it was before.

**** I forgot to change my team from LLL.

Anyway thanks Deko <3

Just pointing out that afaik this was already known like, not that long after the Abu Dhabi race. I remember reading it in Autosport. Since when does this make me a troll? But yes, you're right. It should be an interesting season.

Quote from N I K I :

Was just reading about most dominant F1 cars in history of the sport and of course RB7 is one of them. I found last paragraph to be extremely interesting as it reveals a part of mystery that was always boggling my mind.
Here's translation from Croatian.
"RB7 was an incredibly detailed car and RedBull was never saving energy by optimizing and customizing details. For example, it's discovered that Vettel's rear tire bursted in first corner of Abu Dhabi GP because of the system which was heating rear tires by exhaust gasses. Fail, yes, but that exact system helped Vettel to build a huge lead in first lap to second placed man and escape the DRS zone."

As this exhaust gasses are much better regulated this year, we might have much more interesting races when it comes down to Vettel and close fights.

Gratz on being like, y'know - a few months late on this old bean.

Quote from PMD9409 :

And to think that is only a fraction of that race. It was many many people's first "big" race, it had wind, it had a massive SC pile up, mass communication problems for the CoRe car, massive domination by spdo, massive come back for CoRe, massive amount of old drivers (mysho, bunby, Hopwood, Polma, Palma, and more), old teams (XFR, Pernix, LFSLA, SpeedCore, gogogo CD! ).

And to think it was only 2008.

Yeah, so epic.

Quote from Senninha25 :

You're absolutely right and I agree with your post, but here's the reason why we sent the SC out.
Normally, flipping over and being stuck in gravel traps would be the best case to throw in the SC, you're right, but in this particular case, the race was at South City, where there's almost no space to avoid an accident. An FZ3 had 2 flat tyres at the back and had to do the whole lap trying not to spin off in front of people, so as a safety measure, we as the admins, voted to send the SC out before anyone's race was ruined by a slow car that could cause a massive accident at any point before it got back to the pits.

That was our only reasoning, just as a safety measure. I understand that people feel a bit frustrated about it, but if we didn't send the Safety Car out, people would be complaining instead about some car with two flats at the back that caused a huge crash and ruined their races.

Fair enough if you have reasoning for it, just no competition cautions like last season. kthanks

Fun racing, disappointed with my race 1 - should have done better. Race 2 was the best I could do with my pace, maybe without a small error I could have held Joe behind earlier, but I'd already decided if he got a run there was no point to fight, as I was racing Joni who was 1.5 down the road, not him as his pace was just better. 2nd was probably the best I could have got after the way lap 1 went. Probably over reacted to Niki's defence in Race 1, Initially going onto the grass was more my fail than anything, he did hold me there a bit, but he had the right to hold me onto the inside and punish me for my mistake.

Anyways onto the next round, hopefully I have some more pace there

You didnt help yourself organising it on the same night as a STD league, seeing as the TBO lovers and STD lovers are usually the same people

Maybe he's agreeing? Who says everything here has to be an argument

Yeah, nobody would copy that...

Quote from Kristi :

@fuel thingy, I somehow managed to make the car eat only 1.9% a lap, while in practice laps we had at least 2.3%, was strange to experience that.
@practice with GT300, I don't really know because i really only drove 1 lap with XRR in that class, but seemed to be an easier deal than the GT500 cars.

Nice round, gratz for the finishers with this wind and stuff. See you next round, hoping to be luckier.

A GTR with 35% intake restriction is easier to drive than a car with 1%. Well observed.

Quote from Hahmo :

Stream with me dennis vortex and core, i started to get the clutch game on and lose 20-30secs per lap and eventually running out of fuel in the last turn. (note: i had 3.2% fuel for the last 3 laps, with 1.7% usage per lap :P)

cya next round then I guess

He wouldn't have lost that much pitting.

Quote from Hahmo :

I'm kind of surprised Reno didn't protest me, even though he was so mad at me in MSN after the race for the contact between me and Mikko, after me being told that tracker and remote (and of course server) show that spdo is one lap down (and that is what i believe in, im in the car, do not blame me for someone giving me wrong info reno thank you), so basically i flashed lights and kept honking for spdo battling with me without me knowing he was on same lap, and actually after watching the replay it was spdo turning into me.

On the race then, I had done 2 laps with GT300 on saturday night, and on sunday I was working and got home around 18.10, did few laps offline and got into the car, now what's that for a preparation. Sadly Arco put in the car just not enough fuel, 2% down, and well, after the good showoff in Stream with me dennis vortex and core, i started to get the clutch game on and lose 20-30secs per lap and eventually running out of fuel in the last turn. (note: i had 3.2% fuel for the last 3 laps, with 1.7% usage per lap :P)


cya next round then I guess

You didnt pit, why?

• The correct lap: 13
• The cars (/teams) involved: 06, 26, 51, 64
• The lap/sector/time: Lap 13 GT500 / sector 1 / 21:10.00 Replay time
• And a short description from your point of view: 06 and 26 are battling for position, as are 51 and 64. On the apex of t1 64 hits 26 which causes 26 to hit 06 and cause 06 to spin and lose 9-10s.

Cool story br0, this thread isn't about "i racing" though.

I think here is the thread you're looking for -> http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1672526#post1672526

Or you could just not be an arse and extract it for him..?

I can when I get home if nobody else has already

Cool story bro.

Obvious question, but you are using the same graphics settings?

^^ This, glad its not only me who finds that.

Quote from xtraction :

Im already clue'd up on this ^^ im only class D so i guess they will get more sirius when i get in to the V8

Good luck.

I think a lot people who signed up to it, signed up to is as a xmas event - and that has now passed. It happens, plus it clashed with GT3 cup. However if everybody who qualified shows up for the race theres still almost a full grid, hardly a bad show for a race on a track thats flat out and boring.

But yeah, appreciate the events etc and if theres anything I can do to help let me know :P
